He said the Chiefs are not only number one in DVOA offense but there is rarely such a big gap between number 1 and 2 (NE) in the AFC. In short this is one of the most efficient offenses since they started tracking this two decades ago. He said defenses were all questionable so combined its clear the Chiefs right now are the favorites with the precursor of how injuries can derail anyone at any time. Last year at this time this same guy said the numbers suggested the Chiefs were unlikely to get past the wild card round. Of course I take all this with a grain of salt as we all should. But there's some real tangible statistical evidence of just how special this offense and this QB have been through 9 games. Still a long way to the finish line though. There is no doubt the Chiefs offense and Mahomie have/are dominant and extremely efficient as I am trying to point out to Jet....they do not miss/squander opportunities. Injuries on both sides of the ball will determine the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Browns then gained 61 more yards on their last two drives to bring the total to 388. The Chiefs intercepted Mayfield on the next to last drive, and on the last drive gave up another 9 yards and the game was over. It's frustrating to watch, but that's the way Sutton seems to play it. In comparison, the 2003 defense was pretty decent through the first nine games, then got exposed when they stop getting turnovers. The 2018 Chiefs are already exposed but seem to be getting better. The difference is the 18 Chiefs offense is younger and very much more talented. Both teams have positives & negatives. The 03 Chiefs were a less talented veteran group, while this years Chiefs are a more talented younger group. I'm not sure what's going to happen this year. Mike Maslowski getting hurt was why the 03 defense went to hell. That's when the bottom fell out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. I think he was injured in that loss in Cincinnati? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Maz didn’t have great physical gifts but a nose for the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgot all about him. It's sad because, he never did come back. I had to Google it, and read he attempted to comeback, but the injuries to his knees was too much for him to perform at the level he wanted.

If we can get teams in an obvious passing situation on third down we are good at closing them out. And it seems like early in the game we get a few stops to build a lead on most teams. It’s almost like early on we guess right how teams will play us or something. But then we will look like Swiss cheese the next few drives. And this pattern has continued all season. I think we’ve proven we can overcome the defensive liability, but it’s a crapshoot of sorts against the likes of NE and Pitt. I think we all want to gravitate to the point we expect to win all things being equal rather than hope. Just a competent complimentary defense can do that and give us a slew of real shots as good and as young as this offense is. This offense is good enough that I do expect to win every week. I've never felt that way, even during the DV years when we were very good. That said, I'm fully expecting to have my heart ripped out in January watching Brady drive for a winning score inside the final 30 seconds. That's a combination of battered fan syndrome and lack of trust in our defense. If we're talking about the here and now, I think our postseason success hinges on matchups. If we play teams that are great defensively but average offensively, I think we win. It's the teams like NE that can score that scare me, because I just know that our defense will be swiss cheese, and we'll end up in a 45-41 type loss.

the Warparty 69 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Xen was 100% correct, the D back in 03 was pretty decent until Maz got knocked out for the year, and for what ended up being his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
